    mtd: physmap_of: fix null pointer deference when kzalloc returns null
    
    static analysis by smatch caught the following error:
    
    drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c:135 of_get_probes()
       error: potential null dereference 'res'.  (kzalloc returns null)
    
    Check for failed kzalloc and return -ENOMEM in of_flash_probe if
    this occurs.
